Why is Hormone Optimization Important?

Hormone evaluation is Now Available at Pediatric Care+

The goal of hormone optimization is to assess whether hormone levels in the body are below their optimal threshold and, if so, to treat this by developing a plan to improve hormone function.

Are You Experiencing a Hormone Imbalance?

For both men and women, hormones act as essential communicators between cells in our bodies and are responsible for regulating many of our bodies’ functional systems.

Hormone balance is essential for good health, energy, and happiness. Most women—about 85%—have at least one symptom that negatively impacts daily functioning. Low testosterone affects an estimated four to five million men in the United States.

Because hormones control anxiety, appetite, body temperature, brain function, heart rate, metabolism, mood, sleep cycles, sexual function, stress, urination, and really everything, imbalances (too low or too high) can lead to uncomfortable (at best) and disruptive symptoms.

Does my insurance cover hormone evaluation and management?

We will bill your medical insurance and do our best to encourage insurance companies to cover costs for labs and treatment of hormones. Not all insurance carriers or plans will cover expense. Pediatric Care+ has teamed up with a contracted lab service to offer very low rates for those labs which are not covered. We strive to be transparent with fees associated with labs and treatments so that you can make decisions based on your health and financial plans. We also strive to provide care at the most reasonable rates!
